Hi @kaygee77, welcome. How is your mom doing? Has she completed radiation and chemo treatments?

She completed radiation and is on maintenance chemo once a month. Her follow up imaging wasn't ideal and they started her on Avastin infusions last month. She seems to be declining rather rapidly in our eyes, though the oncologist indicates the decline is slow. She is mostly incontinent and her short term memory is nearly non existent. I wish someone could just give us a road map to this awfulness... a way to mark our progress instead of staying in this weird place of half-grief.
